There are a huge number of parents suffering stress from no work/life balance and disharmony in the home. They have begun to think this is normal and they must soldier on in silence. The government has eroded their confidence and they feel stigmatised. The government spend all their time and money on the small proportion of parents and families in the system and ignore the majority. There is an easy way out but the government need to take a different approach. Ed Balls states in his new Children's Plan "parents want more support in managing the new pressures they face such as balancing work and family life". Despite two meetings and lots of email correspondence I don't trust the government to deliver on their promise, so please join our petition.

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to…

make sure the DCSF delivers on it's promise to support your family…

Our Government are failing the families of Britain. Despite the name change - the Department for Children, Schools and FAMILIES - nothing is being done for families. Their remit includes the wellbeing of families, they say they are investigating what to do to support their new Children's Plan. In this plan Ed Balls states "parents want more support in managing the new pressures they face such as balancing work and family life". Every family can learn easily how to respect each other and create harmony in the home. This will change society. Every day headlines tell of family breakdown: teenage murders, binge drinking, anti social behaviour, pregnancy - it all starts to go wrong in the family. But there is nothing wrong with parents, they are doing the best they can with what they know. Young people are different these days and parents need new skills. Don't let the government get away with it - demand the support they promise. Be part of the change we so desperately need in Britain.
